Crunch and Sip.



We had our first session of 'Crunch and Sip' on Wednesday. It was great to read a book in class and eat some healthy fruits and vegetables. Looking forward to this time each week.



Welcome to 2012

Welcome back to school!

Welcome to our Year 3 students who have moved to the primary department. We are looking forward to seeing you blossom and become independent learners.


We have begun the school year with wonderful enthusiasm! Our theme this term is:


Australia - You're Standing in it.

The projects completed by Stage 2 students are 'You beaut!!"

3/6D's Assembly

3/6D did "B" Block Proud!


Visual literacy is being able to read beyond the words and 'see' what story the pictures contain. Anthony Browne is an author skilled in including visual literacy elements to communicate through the illustrations to his readers.


We loved this version of one of Anthony Browne's texts. Can YOU guess which story it is?

Fizzics!

Today was AWESOME!

Thank you to Ben from Fizzics!! We learnt so much about our amazing body today.
We put together a body x-ray, viewed blood cells, hair follicles and plant cells under the microscope. Some of us were human electrical conductors and others took a colour blindness test.

Afterwards, we asked some very interesting questions and Ben had all of the answers! He said that he learnt lots of things by listening to his teachers.

The Stage Two teachers thought that was wonderful advice.
Take a look at our incursion.

Kiara's Bunnies!

This week Kiara brought in her baby rabbits to show 'B' Block. They were both so cute. It was interesting to see their different natures. One was very quiet and content. The other was timid. No wonder, with all of those excited students!

Padstow Park Public School do a wonderful job supporting many charities. Our Year 4 students did us all proud as they cared for the sick 'friends' of our students.
Thank you Year 4
